Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter; all rights belong to J.K Rolling, while the story itself is purely my imagination exploring the Harry Potter Universe.
AN: Thanks to the new favourites and follows, and it's the night before they visited the ally, but instead of Hagrid giving Harry the explanation in the ally he gave it the night before over dinner. I also choose Moreau as it means dark in French, instead of Lefay as I think it would be interesting to have predominately light family merge with a grey/dark not evil family unknowingly making him more powerful, pureblood and having an affinity for both magic's. This is in no way linked to the Island of Moreau. Thanks to geetac, the silence of the Raven, NeoHydra77, Robert32514, rebekahalana, Penny is Wise, michealdavidgeng, naruhina27, mrpieten, Ryuu, Guest and ORKCHILD for the reviews .
Chapter 3
Harry was seated in a meeting room in Gringotts, waiting for the Goblin tailor to arrive before they could begin there discussion about his title's, cousin and future "I have to be back at the Leaky Cauldron at 11pm, as I may have snuck out" said Harry, "That's fine this should only take an hour and then shall half an hour to explore your vaults and receive your clothing, but why did you have to sneak out?" replied Swiftkey, "I didn't want to get mobbed by people again on my first trip to Diagon Ally, I wanted it to be mine and no one else's and I also wanted to explore freely" said Harry, "That's fine Mr Potter, I believe anyone else in your position would have done the same, but if you do come back here after your trip perhaps you could invest in a glamour crystal that our warders charm and place wards on to make the appearance itself unbreakable by other magic, making it safe for you to be out and about" replied Swiftkey.
" I would be highly interested in the glamour crystal if it doesn't restrict my movements, how much does it cost" said Harry "It is a small crystal necklace or bracelet, to activate it you would have to set a password and the effects would be permanent till you deactivate it, the appearance itself would be the opposite of who you are, for you it would be dark blonde hair, blue eyes and tanned skin and no one would be able to make the connection, the price of the crystal is 480 galleon's due to its charms and the fact that crystals are expensive" replied Swiftkey, "Would I have enough money for that" said Harry, "You would be able to afford a billion of them and not make a dent in your fortune" replied Swiftkey, "In that case I would like one attached to a leather cord that I can hide beneath my shirt with the activation password as Three Days Grace and the deactivation password the same" said Harry, "Certainly Mr Potter" replied Swiftkey.
At that moment the goblin tailor walked into the room, so Swiftkey gestured to Harry to stand up and tape measure started flying about as he was measured, "Now Mr Potter, Swiftkey has indicated to me what you would like, is there anything else" said the goblin tailor, "Could they have dark purple or silver trim on them please and either a V-neck or Scoop neck for the long sleeve tops and t-shirts and high neckline for sweaters please" replied Harry "Certainly Mr Potter" said the goblin tailor. In no time at all they were done and the goblin tailor left the room and returned to his seat at the table.
"Now Mr Potter, where would you like to begin this discussion" said Swiftkey, "Umm Title's, cousin then finances, a look at my vaults and finding whether or not I can gain emancipation to look after my cousin" replied Harry, "Very well Mr Potter" said Swiftkey.
Swiftkey reached to a draw under the table and pulled out some papers which he kept in his hands "As I stated earlier you are head of the Ancient and Noble Houses of Potter, Peverell, Moreau and heir to the Ancient and Noble House of Black which means that politically you are a power house holding 8 houses in the Wizengamot which is the judiciary and like your house of lords, they decide the laws and sentences of those who have committed crimes. There are 50 seats in the Wizengamot, 25 of which belong to 5 Ancient and Noble families, the other five are Longbottom, Lovegood, Greengrass, Bones and Zabini however while the Longbottom, Greengrass, Zabini and Bones lines are patriarchal while the Lovegood line is matriarchal. Then there are 13 Noble families such as Abbot, Diggory, and Nott for example and then there are 12 Houses of like Malfoy as they came from France 8 generations ago, Moody, Grabbe and Goyle. The most important part though is having majority right now it is pretty equal with a swing vote from the neutral families, but with your votes and if you choose wisely you may have plenty of people on your side" said Swiftkey.
"So majority wins, is there appeals in the Wizengamot?" replied Harry, "There is only an appeal is 2 thirds agree, and first thing you have to do is establish yourself and how you want others to see you, as image is important in order to form or retain old alliances" said Swiftkey, "Does being Ancient and Noble allow me anything else" replied Harry, "You are high up on the hierarchy as Potter you would have been respected but as a Potter, Peverell, Black and Moreau you will have a lot of people who wish to use you as well so you have to be careful who you befriend and as you are part of the 9 houses that helped form England's magical world you also have a lot of say in the ministry" said Swiftkey, "Good thing or bad thing" replied Harry, "It is good thing, however it can also be bad if you do not have the support of the current Minister, but since you aid in voting in the Minister it can work if your favour" said Swiftkey. Sighhh it was bad enough being the boy-who-lived now I have to look out vultures that want to steel my fortune as well and uphold my family name.
"Sigh, I was also wondering about my cousin and if there was a legal clause in my parents will that if it was not followed I could be emancipated with check-ups once a month by the wizards version of social services?" said Harry, "Well your cousins name is Violetta Elise Moreau, she is 9 year's old and is currently in the care of Petite Femme's Orphelinat, she has been there since she was 5 when her parents were killed in a raid by English aurors who were tracking a death eater and ended up using one to many cutting curses. Custody itself will be dependent on the will's stipulation's which I'm having a fellow goblin fetch right now" replied Swiftkey.
